Morphology
environmentalism = environmental (transparent) = environment + al + ism
The adjective 'environmental' is transparently formed from 'environment' + '-al', and '-ism' creates a noun meaning an ideology or movement related to that adjective.
Etymology
Environmentalism can also mean caring for and protecting nature. The word joins environment, the things 'around' us or our 'surroundings', with -ism, meaning a 'movement' or 'belief', so environmentalism is the movement or belief to protect the things 'around' us from harm.
